Grasshopper Assignment //

The task was to start from a Simple Sphere, and through different types of Transformations (euclidean and data list manipulation), define and state the parameters controlling all Shape Variations, create a catalogue of Shapes and Pattern and finally applying a Gradient defining the local properties of the resulting single parts of the geometry with the overall.

Steps :

1 _ S P H E R E
“ Mother ” Sphere created from Centre Point – Radius 60 / 100 .
Variable Radius .

2 _ P O I N T S
Populate Geometry on Sphere surface – 150 points . Variable Number of Points, Variable Seed .

3 _ S P H E R E S  F R O M  P O I N T S
Spheres from PopGeo Points, Random Radius values .
Variable Number of Spheres, Variable Seed .

4 _ S C A L E D  S P H E R E S
Scalable Spheres from Spheres Centres .
Variable Number of Spheres, Variable Seed, Variable Sphere Dimensions .

5 _ P A T T E R N  # O N E
Brep | Brep between Mother Sphere and Surface Spheres .
Variable Curves Scale, Variable Points Position, Variable Number of Points .

6 _ P A T T E R N  # T W O
Brep | Brep between Mother Sphere and Surface Spheres .
Divide Length of Spheres Curves, connect Curves Points through Proximity .
Variable Curves Radius, Variable Points Position, Variable Number of Points .

7 _ P A T T E R N # T H R E E
Extract Spheres’ Centre Points, connect Points through Proximity . Variable Points Position, Variable Number of Points .

8 _ S H A P E  V A R I A T I O N
Spheres’ Centre Points connected through Proximity.
Proximity intensity of Lines is Variable through Group .

9 _ M O V E  A W A Y  F R O M
Move Spheres away from Centre of
“ Mother ” Sphere .
Variable Distance from Centre, Variable Spheres Radius, Variable Spheres Position .

10 _ M O V E  A W A Y  F R O M
Move Spheres away from Centre of
“ Mother ” Sphere + Centre Points Proximity .
Variable Distance from Centre, Variable Spheres Radius, Variable Spheres Position, Variable Density of Proximity Lines .

11 _ F I N A L  R E S U L T
• Distance from Centre : 0

• Number of Points : 320
• Points Seed : 9
• Scale Factor : 0.8
• Proximity Group Factor : 40
